Recipe View Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the sausage in the hot oil until crumbly and no longer pink, about 7 minutes: remove from the skillet, leaving the fat in the pan, and set aside. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the skillet and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have browned and begun to release their liquid, about 5 minutes more. Return the sausage to the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper and return to a simmer, cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella and Parmesan. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. (Cook time: 20 minutes)

Recipe View Broil in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. (Broil time: 7 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using Italian sausage with fennel seeds.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide a superior taste compared to pre-grated.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a longer period, allowing it to reduce further.
Add a splash of dry white wine to the mushroom and garlic mixture for enhanced depth of flavor.
